“Today, President Donald Trump showed America and the world what true leadership during a crisis looks like. We are a nation of laws, and we can both seek justice for George Floyd and stand up to the rioters who are burning our cities, demolishing businesses, and impacting the daily lives of Minnesota families. As Trump said ‘I am your President of law and order and an ally of the peaceful protestors.’ “It is time for the violent riots and crimes to stop, and we are grateful for President Trump and the National Guard for acting when our local leaders would…

“Today, our dedicated Minnesota Republican activists overwhelmingly voted to endorse former Congressman Jason Lewis as our next U.S. Senator from the great state of Minnesota. “Lewis has spent his career on the radio talking about the important issues, and now he is committed to acting on them. During his time in Congress, Lewis was a strong leader on health care reform, tax reform, and juvenile justice reform. “Lewis is the best person we have to defeat Tina Flint Smith and represent our midwest, Republican values in Washington. Join us in supporting Jason Lewis as we work to show Smith and…

“For four straight nights we have helplessly watched our neighborhood businesses be looted and destroyed, we’ve watched as violent protesters have rioted in our streets and forced public transport and major thoroughfares to shut down, and we have watched our city burn to the ground. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey have been largely silent, other than a handful of unhelpful tweets and press conferences blaming everyone, but themselves. Minneapolis is decimated. Minneapolis is damaged to a level we never could have imagined. The destruction caused this past week will unfortunately live in our memories forever. It’s a dark stain on…

“Today, we were forced to halt our scheduled MN GOP convention due to potentially malicious interference with the servers used for our voting technology. “While our voting system remains secure, and the integrity of the system and process remains intact and has not been compromised, our vendor witnessed an unprecedented spike in volume they can not attribute to normal use of any kind. This is the same voting technology we have used for at least a dozen other conventions with no issues. “The Republican Party of Minnesota will be working with our voting vendor and law enforcement to investigate and…

“Today, Minnesota Republicans resoundingly endorsed Tyler Kistner on the first ballot in the Second Congressional District. Kistner’s experience serving in the Marines, and overall candidacy highlights the importance of the voices of a younger generation and will be a welcomed addition to Congress.

“As our nation grapples with a new normal filled with stress, anxiety and illness, Secretary of State Steven Simon’s push to change our voting system just adds to the chaos. “Minnesota has a great, no-excuse absentee voting system in which any eligible voter can vote by mail, without any changes to the law, should they choose to do so. Attempting to change a law now for elections that are months away is extremely premature and a disappointing power grab by the Democrats at a time of extreme unease.” For Immediate Release April 8, 2020 Contact: Becky Alery 763-360-1711 bla@mngop.com MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Republican Party…

“Our nation is dealing with an unprecedented situation which has forced many changes in our daily lives, but it is important we react in a measured and thoughtful way taking things day by day. The Republican Party of Minnesota fully supports working to ensure that no Minnesota voters are disenfranchised in any way by coronavirus implications or any other reason. However, it is concerning to see Secretary of State Steve Simon and Minnesota DFL Chair Ken Martin rushing to change laws surrounding voting in elections that are months and months away. As we work through our new reality, it is…

“Minnesota Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Flint Smith have decided to put politics above the safety and good of the American people. It is disappointing to see two of Minnesota’s elected leaders take shots at President Trump and refuse to pass legislation that would provide assistance for families, relief for businesses and workers, and support for health care professionals, simply to make a political point. “Minnesota families are struggling and Main Street businesses are crumbling. It is time to put partisanship aside and work together as Americans in this trying time.” For Immediate Release March 23, 2020 Contact: Becky Alery 763-360-1711 bla@mngop.com…

“Last night, in compliance with recommendations from the CDC and President Trump, the Republican Party of Minnesota’s State Executive Committee voted to move all BPOU (local party unit) conventions from in-person to remove, teleconference conventions. “During these trying and ever-changing times, it is important that we continue moving forward and complete party business required of us to endorse candidates, elect Presidential Electors and have a voice at our national convention in August. But it is crucial that while conducting party and political business, we do our part to keep our delegates, candidates, activists and the general public safe. “We understand…
